As part of the OPERAS-P project work package 6 (Innovation) OPERAS was looking into innovative, non-BPC business models. The feedback gathered in the course of these three workshops informed a report <em><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">The Future of scholarly communications</span></em>, published at the
